As a child, Charlotte Tucker lived with different relatives because her mother was quite often ill with peritonitis, possibly hysterectomy, therefore requiring the family to have a private nurse, Annie Snoke was one of the nurses. This was about 1928, the private nurse cost $25 per week, and George Tucker (her father) made $18 per week. Relatives helped the family by bringing food, etc. The debt incurred at this time lasted until Charlotte got out of the Navy in 1945. The doctor's name was Murphy. The bills were paid a little each week including payment to Dr. Murphy's widow after Murphy died. Dr. Murphy was from Warsaw.

Charlotte was stricken with polio when she was about 27 years old, soon after the birth of her daughter, Peggy Ann. Though she survived, her health was significantly affected by polio for the rest of her life, including lack of muscle tone, respiratory problems and severe muscle cramping. Her hands were so weak that doctors operated on the left hand to remove the tendon from the fourth finger and placed it into the index finger of her right, dominant, hand, in order to allow her to grasp.
